But at end of the day do I want to sell my lighter 2800 lb and higher HP 500 hp Nismo track car for this new vette? I like my old tech stamped steel unibody Z!
I wouldn't touch first two model years of this car though! Way too many changes that haven't stood test of time with general public. I suspect there will be issues. Clearly GM still has some real functional silos too. The engine platform guy didn't know anything about transmission being hooked up to motor he developed? That sounded bad in the interview.

The rear bumper is too busy. Looks like the back end of a Camaro and LFA in the worst way. The two tone is terrible, too far up. That is by far my largest complaint. Not that I mind change, but telling me all those vents are active is not a reason to have it in that location. Function still had to follow form's rules and it struck out. The front bumper needs to lose that plastic grill too. There is no character or anything memorable for that matter when I see the front bumper. Probably because they used it all in that asstastic bumper. Profile is nice, interior is nice, engineering seems solid, just wish they focused a little less on the rear and put it in the front.

C6 to C7 there are a lot. New transmission (updated version of the old, but still very new) LT1 motor is an all new design, only a handful of things carried over The frame went from steel to all aluminum. The electronics in the car also got a serious upgrade, that is where I think the bugs will be found.

I was sharing thoughts on car with some Porsche guys and heard the funniest poke at styling yet. "Looks like Sasquatch stomped on a Camaro!" Lol!

Yeah! That looks much better. Don't get me wrong it is a badazz car for sure. In general I really like Corvettes and I was actually going to buy one, but for various reasons I went with the Z.
